Miss Loleatta

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Here is the Philly sound paired with Loleatta's distinctive, gospel stylings. The disc includes 3 blues ballads and 5 danceable, soulful tunes. A bonus 12" version of "Hit and Run" is included. While not as smooth as Gamble-Huff productions like Harold Melvin's "Bad Luck," O'Jay's "I Love Music," Jean Carn's "Was That All It Was," Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way" or Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find," nor as dance-fuelled as other Salsoul numbers like Inner Life's "Moment of My Life," First Choice's "Let Me Down Easy," or Holloway's "Catch Me On The Rebound," this album contains a nice selection of disco."
